There are certain thing that instantly become so much better if it involves you:
Pictures - Looking at pictures is fun for about 13 to 14 seconds if youre not in them. I really dont care to see what kind of face you made when you were jumping into the pool at summer camp last year. Now on the other hand if I'm in the pictures then lets go through each single one and go through them very slowly so I can get a real good look.
Telling stories - Most of the time, when someone is telling a story all I can think about is hopefully at some point Im in it. Then when I realize Im not in it, I start to lose interest and just nod my head and wait for them to finish. But if you're in that story, it instantly becomes so much better and now you are hanging on every word and telling everyone else to "shush" and yelling "This is the best part" hoping everyone else is loving it too.
High School Highlight Video - If you are or were an athlete then you have watched some of your buddies highlight videos before. You watch them and for the first 15 minutes you're all into it and then for the last 45 minutes all you can think about is "When will this friggin movie end so I can pop in my HS highlight video and show you all the crap that I did"
- Couldnt think of a picture for this post, so I just put one up of me killin a Big Gulp

Hahahahah.
That is an awesome article. Funny and too true. I was rolling on the ground reading the "telling stories" part.
One topic missed would be home videos. No one likes to watch other families' home videos, but they could watch their own all day long. Sorry for those of you that were born before 1980 as there were not any video cameras to record the awesome things you did.
If you were Brad, your home videos likely are of you pulverizing kids on the wrestling mat.
On another note, the title of your article made me think you had written a story about me when I hook up w/ chicks. As Lance "one ball" Armstrong once said "It's not about the bike", I can say "It's not about the size".
"Am I in it?" My first words without my V Card.
Stories are the worst.
Sorry, I wasn't in it so I didn't read it....:)
